Chapter 198 The Height of Technology

The principle described by Pittman is actually not complicated. The connection between the magic circle and the magic circle is actually a process of "frequency conversion compatibility" in Gawain's understanding.

Although the structure of the two is different, the rune system and the effective mechanism are also different, but the magic circle and the magic circle are essentially a system that consumes magic power and produces effects (the gathering magic circle like the magic net does not actually generate magic power, It just concentrates and compresses the discrete magic power originally existing in nature, and also has its own waste energy loss in the process), and such a system has the innate possibility of connection: as long as you find a suitable connection method, you can .

Generally speaking, elemental runes and divine runes are not compatible with each other, and the only result of forcing each other to be replaced is that the spells get out of control - those priests interpret it as the supreme power of the gods, so the power given by the gods is also higher than that of mortals. As for the spells used, low-level spells are naturally not compatible with high-level divine spells, but in Gawain's speculation, he believes that it is only because the two are difficult to be compatible, or "the same frequency area is too narrow".

He did not come to this conjecture for no reason, but because of the historical facts of the transition from Druid magic to magic, and a reasonable conjecture after discovering the mixed magic circle in the ruins in the mountains - now it turns out that his guess is correct of.

The so-called power of the gods is not higher than the magic power, but the connection between the magical rune and the elemental rune is not as easy as the connection between the elemental runes. The correct arrangement and combination are like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is why scholars believe that the two systems are unlikely to be compatible.

The Magisters of Gondor a thousand years ago seem to have caught this "needle".

Druid's magic has been lost, and after the energy source from the "gift" of the gods disappeared, they had to draw magic from nature to perform the "magic" that used to be "magic", and the magic became in the process. Magic, and the magic circle has gradually become an invalid historical relic due to the failure to find a reasonable way to transform it, but the "interface" found by Pittman has made it possible to re-run the ancient and abandoned magic circle. From Wen's point of view, the mysterious veil of the magic array was revealed at this moment.

It is actually a magic circle, and the sacred rune is actually a special magic rune (independent of the elemental rune system), but its energy cannot be directly obtained from nature, but requires a layer of "filtering" or Only "transformation" can be used, and the inversion matrix is ​​the key to this transformation.

Gawain's thoughts expanded - he thought of those mysterious gods, what role did the gods play in this process?

They...may be the first and the biggest inversion array.

The gods purify and extract the original basic energy of nature, and transform it into the so-called "superior energy" that can release magical techniques, such as the power of nature, holy light, war power, etc., and then use strict teachings as "authorization criteria" to allow Those mortals who perform religious ceremonies can borrow these converted secondary energies from them. If they are placed on earth, this is equivalent to an advanced country monopolizing all primary resources such as fossil fuels, solar energy, and wind energy in the world. power generation technology, and then convert these resources into electricity and export it to a primitive kingdom - the latter will enter the era of electricity in one fell swoop, but as long as they can't find a way to generate electricity, they will be stuck in this state forever , living a life that appears to be an electric light phone, but is actually primitive and backward.

Because they lack the most important "conversion link" technology in the middle.

There is only one intelligent race on earth, human beings.

The gap between people is limited, so this monopoly is difficult to achieve, but in this world, the gods have power far beyond the imagination of mortals - and they succeeded in this monopoly.

The "fall of the white star" 3,000 years ago was the beginning of breaking the monopoly. On that day, the god of nature worshipped by Druids disappeared for unknown reasons. Therefore, the authority to purify the divine power of nature was lifted. The ability of magic, and the magisters who studied the flesh and blood of gods in the Dark Mountains a thousand years ago further broke the monopoly. They used a more radical way to try to bypass the "permission lock" set by the gods, and obtained success.

However, the overall monopoly was still unbroken. There were still many gods in the world, and mortals could only pray from the gods to get the corresponding divine power, but the key to breaking the monopoly was already in Gawain's hands.

"Do you know what this 'inverse array' means?" Gawain calmed down and asked Pittman with a fixed look.

The old Druid smiled: "I know, to be honest, I'm quite proud."

"Churches all over the world will see us as mortal enemies," Gawain said slowly, "Ninety percent of the clergy will bite."

Pittman blinked, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "Not only those priests, but also the 'gods' behind them."

Yes, and the gods behind them.

Although the news that "the gods are dead" is revealed in the Eternal Slate, the fact that the divine power is still in the world cannot be refuted. Gawain had to beware of the "gods" hidden behind the scenes. Are they the resurrected gods? Or some kind of "usurper" who took advantage of the emptiness of the gods and took advantage of the opportunity? No matter what is answering the prayers of mortals, they probably won't be happy to see their monopoly broken.

"For the time being, don't use the inverse array technology on any kind of magic array other than the Druid system." Gawain said solemnly.

He didn't know how bright the eyes of the gods were, he could only assume that they would jump up even if they were plucked by a leg.

"I understand." Pittman nodded, and he obviously didn't dare to mess around in this regard.

"This technology, we need to wrap it up," Gawain took a breath and continued, "This is an attempt to transform Druid magic into a 'magic circle', and due to the origin of Druid spells, the magic circle is naturally There will be ancient symbols of magic, this is natural, do you understand?"

"Of course, I'm just a low-level Druid, how can I know the technique of stealing divine power," Pittman stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes, "I just copied the ancient Druid magic circle from the book, and then put The magic net is just messed up. As for the so-called reversal rune... With the heads of most spellcasters and priests in this era, they will only pay attention to whether this thing can be used or not. Who cares what principle it is, it is a What does it do!"

Gawain could hear deep contempt or even a trace of resentment towards traditional spellcasters from Pittman's tone. He knew that there must be a story in it, but he just took a deep look at the other party and didn't pursue any further questions.

He nodded: "These deceptive remarks are just in case, as long as we keep our technology secret, we don't have to worry about the dangers that will occur after these leaks. There are only the three of us here today, before I think the time is right. , this secret is only known to us, at most the core technicians who will be added in the future will know it, understand?"

Pittman nodded slightly, while Amber suddenly gave Gawain a horrified look: "You won't kill me, will you?"

Gawain knocked on the half-elf's head casually: "Is there any normal operation in your mind?"

"Mom, it's not a normal operation to kill someone?"

Gawain glanced at Pitman helplessly: "To be honest, how did you and your old buddy educate this girl back then?"

"Well, we didn't expect her to grow up like this," Pittman sighed dejectedly, "her adoptive father and I have been working diligently to make money and raise children, we taught her to sneak, poison, dig graves, dig graves, She was abducted and deceived, and she also found the best shadow mentor for her. We taught her so seriously, how could she grow crooked..."

Gao Wen: "..."

Damn, can this education be crooked? ! Amber is still a little bit of petty theft. This is already considered pure talent, right? !

"...Go back and correct your three views," Gawain reluctantly waved to Amber and looked back at Pittman, "You have compiled a detailed list of the new production process and the technical requirements of various equipment. Information, I will arrange the industrial department to design the corresponding equipment and workshop for you. It happens to be winter. If it is completed in the past few months, it will be ready for use in the spring. In addition, I remember that you have recruited a group of pharmacist apprentices, and they are very good. Does it work?"

According to Gawain's instructions to "expand talents", Pittman recruited a group of apprentice pharmacists in the territory to teach the way of nature - the kind of people in the story who just bring a child back from a poor family are talented, and training is the opposite. The celestial talent did not happen, not even one of the dozen apprentices had the talent of Druid, only two or three had weak magic sense ability, but even being a mage apprentice was difficult, but fortunately Drew There are not only spells in Yi's knowledge, but also all kinds of knowledge about preparing potions, domesticating animals, and cultivating plants can be learned by ordinary people, so these apprentices have grown up quickly under the leadership of Pittman. Now they are doctors and doctors in the territory. Apothecaries, and when needed, they will also help Pittman prepare those catalytic potions that are needed for agriculture.

"If you say it's worth it, you will lift those little guys, but they are still working hard, and the basic alchemy skills are still good," Pittman stroked his beard. "Do you have any arrangements?"

"Using a reaction vessel to prepare potions is a technical task, and untrained ordinary people can't operate it. After the potion synthesis factory is completed, there will not only be workers who do chores, but also skilled technicians. Pick a few. A reliable and steady apprentice, let them manage the factory."

Pittman was a little surprised: "I thought you were going to put me in charge of the factory."

"You should manage a higher-level R&D system, not a specific factory," Gawain glanced at Pittman, "There will be more than just a pharmacy factory in the future, and the ancient magic of Druids... Not just for making potions."

"It seems that you are thinking a lot," Pittman nodded, "I understand, I will pick a few suitable apprentices to train, and let them go to the steel factory and the Mechanical Research Institute to familiarize themselves with 'factory production' mode."

Gao Wen sighed: "Then... After completing these tasks, I think you should consider your next research project."

Pittman blinked. "Next research?"

"That is to study 'why'," Gawain looked at the magical runes and elemental runes on the alchemy table, as well as the "inversion array" used as a conversion interface, "why the inversion matrix can convert the original magic power into The so-called 'divine power'? Why does the magic array have to be driven by transformed secondary energy? What is the difference between magic power and divine power?"

Gawain slowed down his tone, but his expression was very serious: "Traditional spellcasters rarely pay attention to the deep magic principle, and you have just satirized this, so we must not be like them. Especially the inverse matrix technology - it is The technique of digging graves is the legacy of the ancient Gondor Empire. It is not an unanalyzable gift from God, but was researched by ancient magisters who are also mortals. Fortunately, we happen to have If you have the opportunity to study it, you must not miss this opportunity.”

Pittman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Whenever I think I think far enough, I always find that you are standing in a farther place waiting for me to catch up..."

Before Gawain could answer, Amber had already said what he was about to say for him: "He is the wisdom of the elderly."
